Phoenix In Town Tomorrow

The Sherbrooke Phoenix make their first ever visit to
Saint John tomorrow when they take on the Sea Dogs at 7pm at Harbour Station.

The Phoenix begin a three-in-three Maritime road swing
tonight in Halifax. They play in Saint John tomorrow and in Bathurst on Sunday.
Sherbrooke sits 16th overall in the league – the final playoff spot –
with a 13-27-2-4 record. They’re four points up on the 17th-place Cape
Breton Screaming Eagles and have two games in hand.

The Sea Dogs sit six points ahead of the Phoenix in the
standings with a 19-27-0-0 record.

Sherbrooke beat Saint John 3-0 on January 13. The Sea
Dogs are 1-1-0-0 against the Phoenix this season.

The Sea Dogs hit the road for Quebec next week. They won’t
play again at the Station until February 7 against the PEI Rocket.

Not a whole lot going on today. Here’s some random stuff:

Jonathan Huberdeau’s fifth NHL game will be tomorrow
night against the Philadelphia Flyers. If he plays a sixth (Tuesday against
Tampa Bay), a year of his entry-level contract will be burned.

Yann Sauve was sent down to the ECHL’s Kalamazoo Wings on
Wednesday from the AHL’s Chicago Wolves. Sauve hasn’t played with the Wolves
since December 7 because of an injury. He’ll join Steven Anthony on the
K-Wings.

If you’re looking for some hockey to watch tonight, there is
a big game in Fredericton between the UNB Varsity Reds and the Saint Mary’s
Huskies. With just five games left in the regular season, UNB is first in the
AUS with 36 points while Saint Mary’s is second with 34. Game time is 7pm at
the Aitken Centre.

Remember to use your season ticket holder Sea Dogs Styles gift card this
weekend if you haven’t already. It expires January 31.
